ITT: Damn kids, get off my lawn!
dunno how it works in other countries but here where i live if you call in sick rather then take payed vacation day you have to bring in paper signed by doctor stating how many sick day you have and not sure how many doctors are willing to make forgery to support hungover.
this is both true and not true - depending on work position i guess - but i do agree that growing automatization and internet/smart phones made a lot of work poistion working much more dynamicaly and much faster then previous generations had to work.
lol, Millennials are certainly NOT the hardest working generation. Fucking technology makes sure of that and the examples are abundant and everywhere.
"Oh i'm a 'hard working' house keeper, my life is soooo horrible, what with the internet, modern tools in the workplace, cellphones, liberal pussafied bosses, and booze that has never come in such variety for such a good price"
Oooooh life is sooooo fucking hard!
wow people need to lighten up and enjoy a fairly funny video that makes fun of the extremes of a generation and parody of old school HR training videos... I'm 36 so guess i fall into the old side of millennials and thought it was funny.

I don't think working with millennials is much different than it was for the last gen working with older workers when they were early career. There are good employees and bad employees and that doesn't seem to have any correlation with what generation they were born in.
What I think has changed compared to 15-20 years ago is the workplace, for better in some ways and worse in others. Companies seemed quicker to hire new employees back then, but also would fire employees for much smaller things too. Now they are a lot more careful to hire, but it takes more to get fired also. Wrongful termination lawsuits probably contributed to that. Benefits generally aren't as good now as compared to 15-20 years ago. Likewise, pay has effectively gone down it seems since to increase profits companies are always reducing bonuses, making bonuses harder to get, and having yearly pay increases be equal to cost of living (if that much). On the upside, things like dress codes seem much looser now in the workplace than years ago. Companies are also much better now about flex time and working remotely/from home. Lastly I'd also say that while it's definitely not broken, the glass ceiling in upper management for women and minorities is at least softer than it was 20 years ago.
So I don't think the workers have changed as much with the Millennial generation as much as the workplace has.
This thread is a whole big thread of fucking stupid...
"oh i've worked with millenials and they were bad!" really... you have... color me shocked you've had a coworker who was bad. For fuck sakes older co-workers can also be just as whiny and bad because people in general can be fucking whiny and entitled. That's a human issue, not a fucking generational issue. This is nothing but the same typical bashing on the current generation THAT HAPPENS IN EVERY GENERATION like jeez...

Odd I had a woman who is in nearly 50 call into work sick because she was hungover. Oh my god how could that have happened!
The millennial generation is the most productive generation, who also works more hours, yet gets compensated less than prior generations.
Why are you conflating millennial with liberal to then go on and bitch and whine? I mean at the moment you seem to be the very thing you're bitching and whining about... a person bitching and whining about shit. Also what's with the whole think with millennials being drunks when millennials drink less?
I find it weird how we get all these labels. Drunks... but our generation drinks less (not just less but the least compared to any other generation)... lazy... but our generation is more active... fat... but our generation is more concerned with health than any other previous generation...
I flat out disbelieve that millenials drink less. Raves? Parties? Every Friday night being an excuse to binge drink?
Please...

Right because there were no parties in the 60s... totally no ectasy taking and partying and weed smoking. Also I think you may be forgetting that romanticized view of drinking "ah come home have some scotch after a hard days work"

Not even just drinking. Millenials also use less illegal drugs... drink less... use less drugs.. more active... less disposable income... work longer hours.. yet we're also suppose to be constantly drunk and lazy or high. No... that's past generations who were more drunk, more drugged out, and also less healthy.
How old are you? Because I'm really curious about how you can complain about millenials, if you are one. I guess you might be over 36, but then you're still acting like a millenial if you feel compelled to complain on a website dedicated to VIDEO GAMES about millenials in the work place.
Or I guess you could be under 17 but then you wouldn't know about the work place, would you?
Also if we are going to talk about entitled what about the boomers who at least in australia didn't pay their share of taxes, went to colleges mostly for free and then passed debt on to later generations. That is some entitled shit.
In the United States, they're the generation collecting large defined-benefit pensions while whining that they have to pay more for health insurance as they age than those damn kids.
As a generation, boomers haven't seemed to encounter anything as they age that can't be answered by confiscating wealth from middle-class millennials and gen-Xers and giving it to the worst generation.
